JC Lemon Photography

JC Lemon Photography is the studio of Jon Lemon, a New York City wedding and elopement photographer. His work is candid and relaxed, built around real moments and easy, natural portraits rather than stiff poses. He covers everything from a City Hall ceremony to a full wedding day.

Why he suits LGBTQ+ couples

Jon works quietly in the background, which means you get pictures of how the day actually felt, not how a template says it should look. His portfolio includes couples of every kind, and his size of business means you deal with the person who will be behind the camera. GLW recommends him for couples who want honest, unfussy pictures and a photographer who blends into the crowd.

What they offer

• Elopement coverage, including City Hall weddings
• Micro wedding coverage for smaller celebrations
• Full-day wedding coverage
• Engagement sessions
• Digital, film or hybrid photography
• Online proofing gallery, with albums and prints available
• An optional second photographer

How they work

Jon usually shoots on his own, and recommends a second photographer for larger weddings. Every package includes an online gallery and a personal use license for your pictures. He does not offer video himself but can point you toward videographers he trusts. He publishes guides on eloping in New York and on getting married at City Hall, which are useful if you are planning a small, quick wedding.

Where they cover

He is based in New York City and covers Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, as well as Long Island and the Hudson Valley.
